Oppo Is Dead, Long Live Oppo

Welp I'm here.... Now What? Are we doin a full migration, old posts and all? Or just starting fresh with the same people?

Just a new start. If you really want to repost stuff you can, though it'd be a real hassle (unless you really liked that stuff). Or you can use the Save Page WE extension on Chrome to right-click on any of your old Oppo posts and download them to your desktop as an HTML (all photos, comments, and other things will be saved so long as you scroll through the Oppo post you want to save and let all the photos load).

@denver-is-stuck-in-the-90s Welcome! This is getting the band Elwood, the Band! the band back together in a new home and growing going forward. While it might be possible a very select few things get reposted from the past (maybe a few Tales from the Blackbird or HHFP's 4x4 tech guides come to mind, if he wanted), I think our fledgling server would faint at the idea of any mass migration of our glorious past.

@Denver-Is-Stuck-In-The-90s Hey, glad to see you with us sir! (I fixed your image link, by the way - mod powerz and all that! )

Take a look at the User Guide if you'd like a little overview!

Yeah, the current server couldn't handle it....@jminer created this site...like...overnight on Nov. 6th and has been steadily improving it since with the help of @Jb-boin and @nickhasanexocet . It's pretty stable at the moment (though has it's glitches here and there)...but considering, it's a massive achievement! That being said, it's running on a little personal server of @jminer 's atm, so it couldn't handle the massive tome that is past Oppo.

If you wanted to save anything, I know BaconSandwich was offering to help folks...he managed to download my entire catalog of posts in PDF form and send it to me...you could reply and see if he could help you?

There's a few folks pulling an archive on Discord, FWIW. Definitely pop into the Oppo archive chat there if there's a post you're looking for. Hopefully those archives get migrated somewhere, but I don't think they're going to play nice with this site, sadly. My completely non-technical guess is that it'll probably be a static record.

@stef-schrader a static record would be fine, as long as we can save all the posts, comments and photos.
